Description

, , and

These icons and corresponding commands are for switching between the result set pages, i.e. the pages that show the retrieved data.

A fixed number of rows shown simultaneously is referred to as a result set page. If this number is less than the number of rows that satisfy the query, only a subset of all the rows is shown at a time.

In such cases, you can use , , and to switch between the subsets. (If all the rows are currently shown, these icons and the corresponding commands are inactive.)

The result set page size is set on the Database page of the Settings dialog.

First Page

Use this icon or command to switch to the first of the result set pages to see the first series of rows.

Previous Page

Ctrl+Alt+Up

Use this icon, command or shortcut to switch to the previous result set page to see the previous series of rows.

Next Page

Ctrl+Alt+Down

Use this icon, command or shortcut to switch to the next result set page to see the next series of rows.

Last Page

Use this icon or command to switch to the last of the result set pages to see the last series of rows.

Reload Page

Use this button or command to open a menu in which you can select an output format for your data.

In addition to output formats, there are also the following options and commands:

Allow Transposition. For delimiter-separated values formats (TSV, CSV): If the table is shown transposed and you are copying selected cells or rows to the clipboard (e.g.Ctrl+C), the selection is copied transposed (as shown) if the option is on and non-transposed (as in the original table) otherwise.

If only a subset of corresponding rows is currently shown, all the appropriate rows are copied to the clipboard or saved in a file anyway. (The number of rows currently shown may be limited by the Result set page size parameter.)

Save LOB

Use this command to save the large object (LOB) currently selected in the table in a file.

Reset View

Use this command to restore the initial table view after reordering or hiding the columns, or sorting the data. As a result, the data, generally, becomes unsorted, the columns appear in the order in which they were defined initially, and all the columns are shown.

View Query

Use this button to view the query which was used to generate the table. To close the pane where the query is shown, press Escape.

Go To | Row

Ctrl+G

Use this command or shortcut to switch to a specified row. In the dialog that opens, specify the row number to go to.

Using the header row. In the Result pane, you can use the cells in the header row (i.e. the row where column names are shown) for:

Indicates that the data is not sorted in this column. The initial state of the sorting marker.

The data is sorted in the ascending order. The number to the right of the marker (1 on the picture) is the sorting level. You can sort by more than one column. In such cases, different columns will have different sorting levels.

The data is sorted in the descending order.

Here is an example of a table where data are sorted by two of its columns.

To restore the initial "unsorted" state for the table, click and select Reset View.

To reorder columns, use drag-and-drop for the corresponding cells in the header row.

To hide a column, right-click the corresponding header cell and select Hide column.

Right-click any of the cells in the header row and select Column List. Alternatively, press Ctrl+F12. Select the hidden column and press Ctrl+F12

To hide a column, right-click the corresponding header cell and select Hide column.

To show a hidden column:

Do one of the following:

Right-click any of the cells in the header row and select Column List.

Press Ctrl+F12.

In the list that appears, the names of hidden columns are shown struck through.

Parameters pane

The Parameters pane shows the parameters detected in the input pane and lets you edit their values. To open or close this pane, use on the toolbar.

Parameter values can be specified just as text or numbers, or as Groovy expressions that contain object references and method calls. For example, the value for the date parameter in the query

SELECT o
FROM Order o
WHERE o.date > :date

could be specified as

new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - 24*3600*1000)

To start editing a value, switch to the corresponding table cell and start typing. To indicate that you have finished editing a value, press Enter or switch to a different cell. To quit the editing mode and restore an initial value, press Escape.

When you select a row in the table, the corresponding parameter is highlighted in the input pane.
